() When the reinforcement ship that Duan Chen and the others were riding appeared outside Qingshan City, the flying boat cruising nearby suddenly reacted and quickly sent a message towards the city.

Soon after, with a huge aura rising into the sky, more than ten rays of light immediately flew out of Qingshan City.

After a while, these more than ten rays of light flew together to the front of the Zhonglou ship, and then the light disappeared, and more than ten Yuanying and Jindan monks dressed in the costumes of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace appeared on the spot.

I saw that the leader was a raunchy and sloppy Taoist, and beside him was an old man in a flame robe, gray-haired and red-faced, and a woman in green clothes.

It was the three Yuanying monks who were in charge of commanding the coalition camp in the Nanling Mountain Range at the beginning, namely Yuanfeng Zhenren, Chihuo Sanren and Aoba Zhenren.

And after the three of them, Jindan monks such as Taixu Zhenren, Taishan Zhenren and Zhuge Xuanshuang were also impressively listed.

"Yuanfeng Zhenren, Chihuo Sanren, Qingye Zhenren, I haven't seen you for a long time, the three of you are fine. ”

Chen Xuanguang, the hall master of Xuanguang Palace, who had already taken Duan Chen and a group of Yuanying and Jindan monks to wait on the deck of the building, saw Yuanfeng Zhenren and others rushing out of the city to greet him, and immediately did not dare to slack off and led everyone to greet him, hugging his fists and laughing.

Duan Chen, Tai Miao Zhenren and others naturally stepped forward to salute together.

"Thanks to Hall Master Chen's concern, everything is fine with us. ”

Yuanfeng Zhenren first returned the salute with his fists, and then said: "Hall Master Chen and all the Taoist friends have come from afar, they must be tired, let's go to the city first, and then let's talk about it, as for the others, let's go to the station outside the city to rest for a while, and wait for the above arrangements." ”

Chen Xuanguang glanced at Qingshan City in front of him, and knew that Qingshan City could not accommodate so many of them, so he immediately ordered to go down and let people lead those foundation-building monks to the station outside the city to camp and rest first.

And he himself took the other Yuanying monks and Duan Chen and other Jindan monks, and flew towards Qingshan City with Yuanfeng Zhenren and the others.

Duan Chen and Zhuge Xuanshuang flew side by side, only to hear Zhuge Xuanshuang secretly say: "I have heard about you, I didn't expect that the above would blame you and send you to Qingshan City." ”

Duan Chen glanced at Zhuge Xuanshuang and said, "I didn't expect that the above would send me to Qingshan City to make meritorious contributions, but it's okay like this, I don't feel at ease if you are alone on the front line." ”

"Don't think that you are qualified to worry about me when you have cultivated to the middle stage of Jindan, you better worry about yourself first, don't ask me to protect you when the time comes. Zhuge Xuanshuang's perception was extremely keen, and he could see at a glance that Duan Chen had broken through to the middle stage of Jindan.

Of course, Duan Chen didn't plan to hide his cultivation.

"I don't mind letting you protect me. Duan Chen looked at Zhuge Xuanshuang and said.

"You...... Think beautifully. Zhuge Xuanshuang was stared at by Duan Chen, her pretty face turned slightly red, and then she said softly.

While the two were talking, the group had already flown into Qingshan City and landed in front of the City Lord's Mansion, and then accompanied by Yuanfeng Zhenren and others, they came to the lobby of the City Lord's Mansion.

The moment Duan Chen and Zhuge Xuanshuang walked into the main hall together, they swept their eyes and immediately saw that there were already dozens of Yuanying and Jindan monks sitting inside, among which Jian Wuya and the Desolate Heavenly King and others were impressively listed.

"Disciple greets Master!" Duan Chen immediately stepped forward and bowed to the Desolate Heavenly King.

"Yes, I didn't think you already were

Breaking through to the middle of Jindan, this is good. But don't be too complacent because of this, the front-line battlefield is full of crises, even the Yuanying monks have the possibility of falling, not to mention that you are a mid-stage Jindan monk, you must not be careless. ”

As a cultivator in the early stage of the Yuan Infant, the Desolate Heaven King naturally saw Duan Chen's current cultivation realm at a glance, and immediately told him with a smile on his face.

"Yes, Duan Chen, what the king said is right, now that you have come to the frontline battlefield, you must be more careful, this is not the same as the outer palace of the Beiyuan Immortal Palace, once you underestimate the enemy, your life will be in danger at every turn. Zhuge Qingshan, who was sitting next to the Desolate Heavenly King, also spoke.

Looking at its breath, it seems that it has been cultivated to the realm of false infants, and it seems that it is not far from breaking through the Yuan Infant Stage.

When Duan Chen heard this, he naturally said "Disciples remember" and "Younger generations remember".

At the same time, Chen Xuanguang, Tai Miao Zhenren and others, who came together, also greeted a group of Beiyuan Immortal Palace monks in the main hall, or sat together to discuss the situation on the battlefield on the front line.

However, at this moment, Duan Chen's expression suddenly moved, he felt a strange gaze, and immediately turned his head to look at it.

As a result, he immediately saw a tall young man with a slightly familiar face standing behind Yuanfeng Zhenren and looking at him.

"It's him!" Duan Chen thought for a moment, and immediately remembered that this tall young man was Liu Tianming, who was in the top ten in the Outer Palace's foundation building competition.

It's just that compared with the Dabi period, Liu Tianming has now broken through to the Jindan realm, and his cultivation has also reached the middle stage of Jindan, which is not much worse than himself, and he doesn't know how he cultivated so fast.

You must know that Duan Chen was able to break through to the middle stage of the Jindan this time, and he was only able to successfully break through after refining the Jindan of Zuoshan Ming and Shi Jun one after another.

Otherwise, according to his estimate, he would need to cultivate for at least one to two years, plus take many pills, before he could break through to the middle stage of the Golden Pill.

As far as he knew, Liu Tianming had also broken through to the Jindan realm not long after Dabi, so it stands to reason that his cultivation speed should not be so fast.

"Is it accumulation?"

Duan Chen vaguely remembered that Liu Tianming and other older disciples had stayed in the Fake Dan realm for a long time since the last big competition, and he couldn't help but secretly guess in his heart.

At this time, suddenly there was a young woman in the other direction, walking towards Duan Chen and them.

"Senior Brother Duan, I didn't expect that I hadn't seen you for a while, and you not only broke through to the Jindan realm, but also reached the middle stage of the Jindan, which is really gratifying. ”

"It turned out to be Senior Sister Fan, I didn't expect you to come to the front line too. Duan Chen looked at Fan Xueyi who came over and said with a look of surprise.

Previously, when he was in the outer palace of Beiyuan Immortal Palace, he had heard Li Mubai and others mention the news that Fan Xueyi had also begun to retreat and break through the Jindan realm in recent years, but he didn't expect that she had not only broken through to the Jindan realm, but also quietly came to Qingshan City on the front line.

"It was the master who asked me to come. Fan Xueyi glanced at Taishan Zhenren, who was sitting with Taimiao Zhenren, and explained with a smile.

Taishan Zhenren was a middle-aged man with a body as tall as an iron tower, with a resolute face and a blazing gaze, giving Duan Chen the feeling that he was as calm and heavy as a mountain.

Duan Chen looked at it for a while, then looked away, and turned to Fan Xueyi and Zhuge Xuanshuang

They talked in a whisper, and by the way, they asked them about the whereabouts of Senior Brother Huangfu Shan and the others, only to know that they were not in the city at the moment, but went out on a mission.

"Okay, if you have anything to say, I'll talk about it later, Yuanfeng Zhenren, I'm a newcomer, and I don't know much about the battle situation in Qingshan City, so please give us a brief introduction." ”

Just as everyone in the hall was greeting and talking to each other, Chen Xuanguang, the hall master of Xuanguang Palace, suddenly spoke loudly.

"Good. ”

Yuanfeng Zhenren nodded, then looked at the people in the hall and said in a deep voice:

"Presumably, all of you Daoists and nephews have already received news on the way here, knowing that the demon clan has now developed a formation that can transform the aura of heaven and earth into demon qi, which has had a great impact on the entire Eastern Wilderness battle situation. ”

After a slight pause, he continued: "But in fact, the appearance of this formation has an even worse impact on the battle between our human race and the demon race than you know. ”

"Please also ask Yuanfeng Zhenren to talk about this formation carefully, I would like to hear the details. When Chen Xuanguang heard this, his face changed slightly.

Duan Chen and other newcomers also felt a pang in their hearts.

At this time, I only heard Yuanfeng Zhenren continue: "Since Uncle Yuan Yi appeared in Qingshan City a few years ago and frightened the demon clan army, the demon clan later also sent several God Transformation Realm monks to the Eastern Wilderness to sit in the town, originally we thought that with the character of the Demon Clan, we would definitely fight with us directly under the leadership of those God Transformation Realm monks." ”

"In fact, at the beginning, the demon army did try to attack Qingshan City a few times, but after returning a few times, the demon army suddenly retreated to the territory of the Eastern Wilderness, and established a demon city and several lines of defense in the depths of the Eastern Wilderness, but could not defend it. ”

"At that time, we thought that the other party wanted to wait for more demon clan powerhouses to come from the Eastern Regions and then fight to the death with us, so we have been actively preparing for the war. ”

"I don't want to do this, after more than a year, the demon clan still has no intention of attacking us, and only occasionally sends a small group of demon clan troops to harass us. ”

"Originally, it was just like this, and the situation was fine for our human race, since the demon clan was unwilling to attack, we were happy to have a stalemate with them like this, but since half a year ago, a large amount of demonic energy has suddenly emerged from the Eastern Wilderness. ”

"Because of the appearance of these demonic qi, the strength of the monks of the demon clan has increased greatly, like a tiger with wings, and if our elder disciples fight each other in this kind of demonic qi, not only will they not be able to absorb the mana of heaven and earth aura to restore their bodies, but they must also avoid inhaling these demonic qi into their bodies. ”

"This coming and going has caused us to suffer a lot of dark losses in the process of fighting with the demon army several times since. ”

Later, Uncle Yuan Yi noticed that this demon qi was coming strangely, and finally did not hesitate to take the risk to make a move, went deep into the Eastern Wilderness, and captured a demon clan's Yuanying Demon King alive, only to learn from his mouth that the original demon clan has studied a formation called the Spirit Devouring Demon Array in recent years. ”

"This array can be released by devouring the aura of heaven and earth and transforming it into demon qi, and in terms of its principle, it is similar to the demon pill of the demon clan. Yuanfeng Zhenren said with a slightly gloomy face.

"Soul Devouring Demon Array?"

Duan Chen raised his eyebrows, and couldn't help but think of the Spirit Devouring Flame that the latter had used when he fought against the Zhuyan Demon King in the Nanling Mountain Range.
